Hardback. Zustand: Good. The luminous work of Bill Armstrong has long stretched the boundaries and expectations of contemporary photography. In his explorations and subversion of the ostensible objectivity and precision that have distinguished photography among the visual arts, Armstrong foregrounds the medium?s qualities that photographers had been attempting to exploit since the beginning of the twentieth century: colour and focus. All a Blur showcases Mr. Armstrong's Infinity series, an ongoing project he has been working on for over 25 years. The book presents 21 different portfolios, all made by using his unique process of photographing a collage of found or appropriated images extremely out of focus or distorted by handheld time exposures. The variety of subjects and results he achieves with this process is so broad it has been said that he has developed a medium of his own invention that lies at the intersection of photography, painting and collage.   With mysterious and poetic images that reflect on history, philosophy, identity and spirituality, Armstrong conjures a unique alternate reality that might exist in dreams, in memory, or, perhaps, in a parallel universe. At the same time, the subject of the work is colour. By taking away focus and the usual expectations of photography, Armstrong is able to investigate the qualities and effects of pure colour in a profound way, freed from the limits of representation.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over the last 25 years, Bill Armstrong has pioneered the unique approach of blurring appropriated images--a medium at the intersection of photography, painting and collage. All a Blur presents some 300 pulsating color images that offer alternate visions of history, religion and philosophy. Armstrong's photographs range from mysterious falling figures sourced from the Renaissance to vibrating color spheres akin to Buddhist mandalas. He transforms these into hypnotic visual objects in a volume that is both aesthetically rewarding and a potential pathway to heightened awareness. …
